In the Sydney office, the Workplace "tool" for booking time off has a pull-down menu for you to choose the type of time: vacation, unpaid leave, sickness, etc. That menu painted in real time, a second or so per entry, as it kept asking the other side of the world, "what's the next entry?" Pathetic.
@zacksoto.bsky.social hey snack, i can't find you on the discord
a screenshot of a google search for "nearest star" with a pop-up asking if you'd like to "see results closer to you?"
i don't think that'll make the result any more precise, but sure
I flashed to Kinky Friedman there.
George Costanza certainly thought so.

Well I don't know, but it would certainly be a good idea to stop assuming tech CEOs are tech geniuses. There's no reason why they should be, and they often make silly claims about the tech their companies are building.

Interesting details about a remote shell FreeBSD exploit in this one. www.forbes.com/sites/amirhu...
The editing capabilities are phenomenal, and the in-tooltip links to video tutorials are genius-level UI.
For my use case at least, Capture one isn't just much (much!) better than Lightroom, it's also one of the best designed, best documented, and best user-experienced pieces of software I've ever seen.
Two pictures of the pillsbury dough boy: once is on a purple background with the caption “he is risen! happy Easter!”, and the other is tan and brown, similar to a cracker, on a white background saying “he is not! Happy Passover!”
It’s time to post one of my favorite memes of the year.
Capture One is better than Lightroom and offers a one-time licensee
Affinity Photo is better than Photoshop (for imaging tasks at least) and is free (afaik it's a loss leader for Canva)
There's something a bit poignant about a Bluetooth device failing to connect to another device right next to it when they're the only Bluetooth devices for hundreds of thousands of kilometres around.

tonight is the ART COLLECTOR STARTER KIT XI show at @coreyhelford.bsky.social and this guy will be there❤️
A data center being built with investments from Google will be partly powered by a natural gas project that emits the yearly emissions equivalent of putting more than 970,000 additional gas-powered cars on the road. www.wired.com/story/a-new-...
How does it compare to the Precambrian spring?
We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy but because you've seen the other shit this country spends tax money on. At least going to the moon is cool.
Congrats to OzGrav’s Dr Cullan Howlett - awarded the 2026 Pawsey Medal 👏
His research, focused on assembling the largest & most complete map of our universe ever made, has shaped our understanding of the fundamental forces & ingredients that make up the world around us.

Hey, I grew up fueled by those maple cookies.
was just reminded that tomorrow is april fool’s day and especially this year can we just… not, please
one really good piece of advice an old nco gave me was that "anyone who thinks they are smarter than you, you let them keep thinking that until it matters"
You live a good life. Keep that in mind.
A floating-point number is really a representation of a rational number that does incorrect simplification after operations with other floating-point numbers.
It's really important to know that FPs just don't behave like normal numbers.

Imagine claiming to be a Star Trek fan while expressing disdain for at least 90% of what Star Trek is (and always has been)
Build deps get attention largely because they are easily computed. Other relevant dep graphs that are harder to compute are ignored.
The GitHub Actions graph is clearly relevant to attacks and should be easily computable from public repos.
What are the 'is-even's of GitHub Actions? Who owns them?
For example, in 2025, a successful attack on the GitHub Action reviewdog/action-setup was used to infect the Action tj-actions/changed-files, with an ultimate target of coinbase/agentkit. www.wiz.io/blog/new-git...
Graph of servers involved in serving Go releases, to understand attack surfaces where nefarious code could be introduced.
In my 2023 ACM talk, to illustrate how supply chain security is more than just build deps graphs, I showed a graph of the servers involved in building and serving Go releases.
Has anyone done something like this but for GitHub Actions? We have examples now of attacks moving between actions.
Congestion pricing works. C'mon, cities, follow those few that have tried it: all have found success.
